The cybersecurity market in the UAE saw 10% growth in 2019, due to a growth in cyber threats.
Cyber-attacks mutated and developed from individual attempts to organized and highly trained cyber-attacks.
The new platform will serve as an innovative e-educational platform that doesn’t only provide information, but also can simulate these violations and identify points of weakness and customize the training needed for each department and employee.
Adel Al Housani, Manager of Information Security Section said: “The new platform will play a role in protecting the information and systems of the organization from any cyber-attacks, and this will reduce the budget allocated to this purpose.”
